This is a corsa b 1.2 8v SPI

when changing the altonator belt i knocked off a little black cable that is in a bunch of 5 with 4 brown cable.

The black has a spade connector on the end. I can't find where it goes back.

I fought it would just been an earth so i earthed it out on the end of a spring for the throttle (jsust because it stays on) and the temp went off the scale.


Can anyone help with where this cable goes so i can put my ine at reast with the temp gauge

Its for the temp gauge, goes on the sender next to no1 runner on the inlet manifold

Water temp? If so that's the gauge wiring, needs to be connected to the sensor (by the stat or on the inlet.

If not its the one that gos on the back of the alt, there's a small sunken cut out where it plugs in.

You cant miss it. Its on the inlet, near the alternator.

it make slot on to a button type end rather than a spade if that makes sense
